Dear Tom et al,
I appolgize for the referenced step. Please be gentle with me. Bear in mind
that I was working from memory (and thus under a handy cap) and thought that
the oil pump was driven directly from a gear on the cam shaft (as does the
Austin Healy).
I have rebuilt several different engines over the years and they all seem to
run together after a while.
Once again, I appologize.

P.S. I also appologize for any misspeled words.
